Pinacoteca - local Sao Paulo Art by juicygirl
While MASP was definitely a high point of my sight seeing trip -- the art of Pinacoteca is a MUST to do if you want to feel and see what Sao Paulo's art is really about. Built in a former train station, the building itself is remarkable with wide open spaces and unique use of the building to display several floors of local paintings, sculptures and photographs. While unfortunately most everything is written in Portuqese, the eye candy of art is almost so beautiful that it's self explainatory. I almost feel like after being there that suddenly you grasp better where Sao Paulo's leanings towards beautiful and colorful architecture and design come from.
